Aroma is grapefruit. Golden yellow color with a small head. Taste is fairly strong grapefruit, a decent malt sweetness with just a hint of warmth from the ABV. The bitterness is a bit too soapy at the backend for my tastes. A very good IPA, but not quite a great one.

Pours fizzy light gold, minimal off white head, some nice sediment. Definite Citra and Simcoe flavors. I think the bottle said 95 IBU? Does not taste like 95 at all, malt is a bit too present. Not bad, but not great.

Bottle from local Smith’s. Dark golden pour with quickly dissipating white head, very light carbonation. Like its Red Ale brother, the hops aroma is loud and proud, announcing itself as soon as you pop the cap. Excellent citrusy west coast IPA hop profile, not unlike Stone, although the malt profile is much thinner and more agreeable IMO. All in all, a VERY good IPA!
